A combined cycle power plant has a gas cycle similar to what was used

Question 4:

A combined cycle power plant has a gas cycle similar to what was used in lecture on 02/13 with compressor and turbine isentropic efficiencies of 90%. The steam cycle is a SC reheat cycle similar to what was used in the lecture on 01/25 (Pages 7-10). Calculate the η, net work done in kJ/kg of air and heat added in kJ/kg of air for the combined cycle power plant. Also draw the layout of such a power plant. 

Compare your calculations with the numbers calculated for the combined cycle power plant in class on 02/15

Hint
EngineeringNet Work  = η x Cp (T2 - T1)         = 0.81 x 1.005 (1000 - 20)         = 804.5 kJ/kg ...
